Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment determine whether a window meets a criteria. If the window meets the criteria, the window is sent to a personal digital assistant. If the window does meet the criteria, then the window is sent to a computer display. In an embodiment, the personal digital assistant is attached via a hinge to the computer and is capable of rotating via the hinge between a closed position atop a lid portion of the computer to an open position side-by-side with the lid portion. In this way, the display of the computer is viewable simultaneously with the personal digital assistant.
